Cisco® Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks, delivering a media-rich collaboration experience across business, government agency, and institutional workspaces. These applications use the network as the platform to enhance comparative advantage by accelerating decision time and reducing transaction time. The security, resilience, and scalability of the network enable users in any workspace to easily connect anywhere, anytime, and anyplace, using any media, device, or operating system. Cisco Unified Communications is part of a comprehensive solution that includes network infrastructure, security, wireless, management applications, lifecycle services, flexible deployment and outsourced management options, and third-party applications.

Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) delivers voice self-service that is in a class of its own. Using Cisco Unified CVP, organizations can provide intelligent, personalized self-service over the phone, allowing customers to efficiently retrieve the information they need from the contact center.

Customers can use touch-tone service or their own voice to request information with self-service, and, if live agent assistance is requested, Cisco Unified CVP can transfer information given by the customer and the call itself to the agent, resulting in a smooth customer service experience.

Cisco Unified CVP can help eliminate the clunky, one-size-fits-all menu trees that can frustrate customers. It includes intelligent software that empowers enterprise contact centers to deliver more relevant and personalized voice applications that exceed customer expectations. Enhanced management and reporting software allows for centralized management of larger, distributed deployments and enhanced visibility into self-service performance against business metrics.

By combining the power of open standards with intelligent application development and management software, and by providing enhanced call control, platform management, and reporting services, Cisco Unified CVP gives enterprises a high-performance solution for the contact center that can deliver world-class customer service and increase customer satisfaction and overall business profitability.

Ensure that customer service supports strategies by providing unique, personalized service to each customer based on any and all customer data in the enterprise. Enable the contact center to change as quickly as the business changes.

Reduce costs

Offset the high costs associated with assisted-service contact center agents by directing customers to more cost-effective, personalized voice self-service applications.

Create a consistent, world-class customer experience

Provide a transparent handoff of information by allowing the live agents to see the self-service interactions prior to call delivery.

Table 2 highlights some of the new features introduced with Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal 4.1.

Enhanced multi-language support

Provides native support for configuration data in more than one language.

Offline application build support

Integrates more closely with automated build and test infrastructure by running application build and deployment functions without starting CVP Studio, using the new offline application build facility in CVP 4.1.

Eclipse 3.2 support

CVP 4.1 takes advantage of new enhancements and improvements provided with Eclipse 3.2 resulting in a better user experience and a more productive developer environment.

Java 5 support

Allows developers to use more recent Java technology by taking advantage of compiling custom components for use with CVP 4.1 using JDK 5.
